Adolescence Inclusive Generalist Continuation Requirements
PLAN OF STUDY (POS)
What is it?
The Adolescence Inclusive Generalist POS is an individualized
contract for your enrollment in the four semester phases of the program.
What does it
mean for me?
The POS lays out the EDI courses in the order in which you should take
them, based on the number of courses left in major, general education,
generalist cognates*, and professional courses**. It is best to complete
the phases in sequence; therefore follow your POS.
To be officially enrolled in the program and eligible to register for education
classes the following semester, submit your signed POS to the Coordinator of
Undergraduate Education Programs by November 30 for spring semester and April 30 for
fall semester.
Do I have to
follow my
POS?
YES! Your POS is designed with your degree requirements in mind.
Requesting to register for courses out of sequence (e.g. not following
your plan of study) is subject to availability and whether prerequisites
have been completed. Priority is given to students following their
approved POS.

REGISTERING FOR EDI COURSES
Some EDI courses require Permission Key Numbers (PKNs), allowing you to
register for a specific course and section on the Campus Information System.
The advisement key number, obtained from your academic advisor, allows you
to register for all classes. Go to
http://www.brockport.edu/ehd/undergrad/ugradregistration.html to request
PKNs. If you need help registering for EDI classes not requiring a PKN, submit
a request through the EHD Registration form at the URL listed above. Student
teaching registration is processed by the Field Experience Office. Contact
[email protected] for question regarding field experience and student
teaching.

CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY
Cumulative 2.5 GPA
If your cumulative Brockport GPA drops below a 2.5 while enrolled in the
program, you will be placed on Academic Probation for one semester. During
this semester you cannot register or remain registered for EDI courses (except
EDI 413). You must take non-EDI courses to raise the cumulative GPA to 2.5.
If you are unable to raise GPA, at the end of the probationary semester, you
will no longer be eligible to continue in the program.
EDI Professional Courses: Require C+ Grade
If you earn a grade less than a C+ in any EDI course, you will be placed on
Academic Probation and must repeat the EDI course(s) during the probationary
semester. You will not be able to register for the next phase of the program
until you successfully repeat EDI course(s) by the close of your probationary
semester.

COURSE SUBSTITUTION INFORMATION
EDI 430 covers general education codes I, W, Y, if completed at Brockport. An online course does not satisfy the
Y code. HST majors can substitute HST 422 (grade C+), but does not cover above general education codes.
Approval required for transfer courses unless listed under the community college transfer advising guides on the
EHD department website. Submit course description and syllabus to Undergraduate Coordinator.
FIELD EXPERIENCE/STUDENT TEACHING INFORMATION
The department strongly encourages completion of all course requirements, including the generalist
cognates prior to student teaching. However, PRO 370, foreign language, and EDI 430 may be completed
after student teaching. The department strongly recommends you do not take any courses during the 12
credit Student Teaching semester.
Doubling Up on Field Placements
In the fall semester the Department reviews requests from teacher candidates citing
extenuating circumstances to combine the remaining two 50 hour field placement courses: EDI
465-469 and EDI 414 in the upcoming spring semester. Candidates must be enrolled in EDI 445-449
in the fall semester, in good academic standing, particularly in education courses, and submit a written
request clearly expressing your particular situation. All candidates enrolled in EDI 445-449 in the fall
semester who have not completed EDI 414 will receive an email notification of the process around
November 1 from the Field Experience Office. Requests are reviewed by a department committee and
candidates are notified by the third Monday in November. Requests are reviewed only in the fall semester,
apply to candidates who have not completed EDI 414 and cite extenuating circumstances for completing the
remaining two 50 hour field placement courses in the upcoming spring semester
